If you are a bird watcher or just enjoy all kinds of wildlife, our home on Florida’s central Atlantic Coast is a great place to be. From alligators, dolphins, and manatees, along with all kinds of fish, the Intracoastal Waterway 800 yards from our house is loaded with marine life. And when it comes to […]
Is it possible that I will actually be able to post blogs two days in a row without Go Daddy crashing again? Wow, that would be something, wouldn’t it? It does seem like they have finally fixed the problem, although I still don’t know what caused it to go down in the first place. I’ve […]
I imagine by now you are probably tired of hearing about Hurricane Dorian. But trust me, after 10 or 12 days of hearing about it nonstop on the local news, and all the preparations we have made in advance of the storm, nobody is more tired of it than we are. Yesterday was the calm […]

After reading yesterday’s blog about the campers from hell, I received some interesting comments from campground owners and workampers.

After a weekend of nonstop work, Terry finished stuffing the last of the envelopes yesterday evening and this morning the new issue of the Gypsy Journal will be in the mail. We’re disappointed in the print job this time around, and I apologize in advance. Usually our printer in Allegan, Michigan does a good job, […]
We’re all settled in at Pleasant Lake RV Resort in Bradenton and we spent the afternoon yesterday running some errands and getting to know the area a little bit. Within a mile or two of the campground is everything you could possibly want or need – a Publix grocery, WalMart Supercenter, Lowes, nail salon, beauty […]
